@raindrops i’m not a huge fan of turn based strategy games, but if you are Fire Emblem 3 Houses was pretty decent
For shorter stuff, A Short Hike and Carto are both cute & fun, really enjoyed both
@raindrops i’ve played sakuna twice & really enjoyed it both times — its half sidescroller fighting game, half rice farming simulator (the rice farming simulator is apparently highly regarded by actual rice farmers for its complexity and accuracy)
Only two different difficulty modes, but you can toggle fighting difficulty and farming difficulty separately & the easy option is genuinely pretty forgiving
@Sibylle a fair number of people here do fibrecrafts! It’s not active right now because we’re out of season but i always see a ton of great posts in #TourDeFleece each year
@AspiringLuddite yeah experimentation revealed that there was no temperature at which we could consistently make a full cup of popcorn w/out any of it burning. You could tweak things so that it *mostly* didn’t burn, or you could make a smaller batch
@AspiringLuddite yeah my last place had an induction hob
Great for almost everything, but popcorn went up two difficulty levels
@Lady @witchfynder_finder one game does not a genre make
@Lady @witchfynder_finder i was unaware that play was a genre of videogame
@Lady i was more concerned about the puppydog tails tbh
and if you want to get really deep, there's the fact that the un-inflected form 'adon' derives from the word 'ad', meaning 'father'
and 'ad' just happens to coincidentally mean 'child' in mando'a. Which, usually i'm not going to complain about the etymology of a word conflicting with a completely different language but considering it's already established as a pun, and mando'a is highly agglutinative makes me extremely tempted to interpret it as meaning 'child-____'
okay now that i've explained one way that this is weird i feel like i have to explain the rest in the interests of fairness
there's the fact that it's a pun which, i'm not saying isn't a thing in star wars but is a bit weird
there's the fact that its kinda vaguely blasphemous
there's the fact that duke kryze and his daughter, duchess kryze are the *only* people who use the title of duke/duchess on mandalore, and its really weird that they do because they're an unwieldy fit for Mandalore's clan system
Anyway when even babyname sites are calling it a 'culturally loaded choice' maybe your pun isn't worth it?
@aescling which would be the correct salutation for a duke in written contexts
@aescling its a name that literally means ‘my lord’ in Hebrew
@aescling it doesnt make sense and yet!!!!
Do you ever think about the fact that Star Wars really named a character Duke Adonai Kryze
Popcorn, by the way, is one of those items that just bafflingly sucks on induction
I thought maybe I was just being nostalgic for my childhood stove but no even on my current crappy (gas) stove popcorn is way easier & nicer
@twistylittlepassages @nein09 @hope@weirder.earth according to that, Australia & New Zealand have a ‘king single’ size option which i find both delightful and infuriating
@Rowyn also available on his blog, if twitter decides it doesnt want to let you see the full thread: https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/07/markets-in-everything/
shitty pet advice
@checkervest i assume if your dog is chronically underweight and throws up on the reg that she would not qualify for the authors definition of a “healthy” dog
Like, I’m not endorsing the advice but
